Navarro College Cheer - 2017 NCA College Nationals Final performance

[@thetravelingthrifter2935]

Sad that cheerleading ends after school and that it isn't recognized as a competitive sport post college. These kids put so much into training, and then it all drops off. Could be an incredible sport for them to build careers in post college if they had that opportunity.

[@lllill]

I think it's because it's not a sport.

[@cassyking5015]

@@lllill you apperently didnt watch the documentary. Very much a sport.

[@diamonds2680]

I never realized the effort that goes into cheerleading. It’s crazy to think some of those flyers are actually putting their lives on the line going out there.

[@thetravelingthrifter2935]

I think it should be, if this went to the Olympics I'd actually watch them. The athletism and team work is insane. These girls & guys deserve medals and far more recognition and respect for their sport. If this isn't sport I don't know what is!

[@RomeeRaven]

Just a guess, but it's probably not existant after college because they train so hard all their lives that their bodies are pretty much drained after a certain age. I'd say that past the age of 25, the body just can't handle the constant stress and pain anymore, the performance drops and the injury rate goes up. Not saying that you can't cheer anymore after that, just not on the same level these college kids are at.

[@juliettsioras]

forget the cheer, forget the dance - this is hardcore high level gymnastics performed by some incredibly talented athletes. This needs to be renamed and put in the Olympics.

[@havefunbesafe]

Yes, lets get the chinese and russians compete and make it a world sport.

[@jamesliggins891]

I mean, the cheer and the dance are the crucial parts of cheerleading. lol

[@sitoe9858]

Not sure if you know this but gymnastics is already in the olympics. Cheerleading isn’t cheerleading without the cheer and dancing, and it deserves a place just as much

[@lilacbp3908]

Cheerleading is part gymnastics and dance though…having to do those things in a 2:30 minute routine is what makes cheer a sport

[@shritchie]

I do have to give it up to that second girl who fell, something weird happened midway through her pass that messed her rhythm and footing off but she stuck with it and almost completed the pass even though she was way off. She may have fell but she saved it from being a LOT worse with her determination.

[@TheWinonaJohnson]

Netflix brought me here but Monica made the Netflix show must watch TV. I binge watched the whole series in one night.

[@CoachTowneHealth]

After watching the show all I can think of is how much pain most of them are in during this. Beautiful, but ouch!

[@krisi8358]

The girl at 4:03 is an absolute POWERHOUSE of a performer. Does anyone know her name? Her performance gave me chills, especially as the middle flyer. Of course, she has insane technical skill (they all do), but her power, enthusiasm, expression, and fearlessness moves people in a way that can't even be fully be described. THAT is what the best of cheer is all about--making the crowd feel powerful, making them feel pride for their team, and in awe at the greatness of people. Cheer is pride, passion, culture, unity. She makes me feel powerful, and I am at awe in the power and fearlessness of human beings.

cheerleading should be an Olympic sport.. especially if gymnastics are?? Confuses me how gymnastics are & cheer isnt.. cheer seems to be a mix of gymnastics, dance & so much more!! Nothing against gymnastics but like.. whyyyyyyyy isnt cheer in the damn Olympics already!! Its 2020!!

[@sewingconfidential]

The Olympic Charter indicates that in order to be accepted, a sport must be widely practiced by men in at least 75 countries and on four continents and by women in no fewer than 40 countries and on three continents. ... These rules have kept chess, automobile racing, and other recognized sports out of the Olympic Games.

I saw 2, one in the beginning and one a little bit before the pyramid

[@shritchie]

Yeah, two falls actually and on relatively easy tumbling elements.

[@brxkebby2559]

they got a second because the blonde boy broke his ankle and had a hard fall they automatically don't count that and they judge based on the performance before the fall excluding the fall, they let them warm up and have a second try because it wouldn't be fair to judge them because of the harsh injury

Navarro and Trinity are in the same division. So whoever wins get National Champ. So once they get that title all the National Champs compete to get Grand National Champ. But they don't really compete for Grand.

[@xoxojisela3242]

POV:your watching this trying to find your coach because you know he graduated 2018

[@annaleigh1533]

Is the competition here broken up between universities and junior colleges? Navarro is a junior college, so anyone can get in with a hs diploma. They're basically pulling the best of the best around the country for this team and you would have to enroll in at least a class or 2 to be eligible as a student. I'm just wondering cause navarro being a junior college gives them opportunity to pack their roster; kids can come specifically to cheer for a year or so, while other colleges have to rely on who gets accepted at the college. If the divisions are seperate though, I dont see a problem. If they aren't, doesn't that seem a little unfair? And community colleges involve less studying. Idk it just seems like this would be an extreme advantage

@@xxloveyou77 yes they do, I went to one. It is pretty much like high school

[@mfMoroni1]

Anna Leigh No they’re about the same, but since you’re working for a degree that’s considered “higher” your professors are going to want more from you. Also community colleges in Texas are big on not overwhelming the students.

[@veesthingsflowers3885]

Are there only 2 or 3 junior colleges that compete. Are they competing with the 4 year colleges as well?

[@shritchie]

I think junior colleges have their own category, so there is always a junior college winner but then there is also a grand champion category which is all colleges combined, so it’s possible to win the JC category but not the overall category but also possible for them to beat all the colleges including 4 year if they take the grand champion title.

Im sure your tumbling has no errors 100% of the time. America has seen her do tumbling 5x harder than this one. She made a mistake, BIG DEAL. I know it’s a big deal for this snobby perfectionist of judges, but in the real world and how they grade is so unrealistic.
